NXT has proven to be a strong brand of wrestling for WWE. I know it's being used for call-ups to the main roster, but it's so much of a better product than the main stream WWE offers. Would you ever see NXT creating a TV Title to create some longevity for some wrestlers like Tye Dillinger and No Way Jose. Tyler Breeze could have used a title like this especially if he were to ever come back to NXT.

Ever is a long time so I can’t say one way or the other. But right now, I don’t see it happening. There is so much transition in the company, with the brand split coming, NXT can’t really get into that kind of long term planning until things shake out. They realize that if Vince wants a talent, he or she will be plucked for the main roster. I love that NXT is innovating in ways that they can control, such as with the Global Cruiserweight Series. The one thing that is great about NXT is that Triple H and company have shown that it is its own brand and it sells, so that bodes well for it in the future.

Was there any part of any of the Teddy Long segments that made an ounce of sense? Short term or long?

From a logic standpoint, not really, no. Unless they are going to bring him back to “run” Smackdown, which I don’t see happening, it was just a night of WWE Ha Ha.

Did you happen to to notice that during the confrontation between Cena & AJ Styles this past Monday that Cena said Bullet Club?

It sounded to me like he said, “Pull it Club”, which would be pretty funny if it were the case.

Do you see The Undertaker returning anytime soon and who do you the Deadman against come WM33?

Taker is 51 years old and will be 52 by the time Mania rolls around next year. The one thing I feel everyone needs to understand is that at this point in his life, taking his next match for granted is setting yourself up for disappointment because at this point it all depends on how he feels and if he feels he can deliver a match that is up to his standards. Only he knows the answer to that so I have no idea when we will see him wrestle again or who it will be against. I just hope that it happens.

What’s the plan with the draft situation, with the first live SmackDown happening just days before Battleground, will WWE say that the draft will come in affect once Battleground is over, have the draft a couple of weeks in advance to build up RAW and build up SmackDown feuds or will WWE just say some of the matches are Interpromotional matches?

As Triple H made pretty clear in last week’s conference call, it’s still all in the “to be determined” stage.
